Even if the amendment passes, they will be on record.
Those southern soldiers were citizens, too. They deserve the same respect as the Northern soldiers.
I want a goddam roll call vote or no vote, frankly. They’re not gonna get away with a voice vote - no way.
Sure glad they have solved all the really big problems in this country so they can waste time on this trivial crap....................
WHY THE REGIME PICKED ON THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG
AND NOT ROOF’S MANIFESTO
Because it was under threat of questioning and possible impeachment proceedings by its so called political opposition the regime needed to defer or stop any movement toward this. It was necessary to use a political device usually atrributed to Saul Alinsky but used by the nazi and commie’s like Stalin with the “Kulacks” through racial division. It created persons engaged in felonious assults on authority who were black youths into; “Victims of an evil society” (thus approving their actions) out of whole cloth.
The regime began with the Zimmerman case which resulted in a series of assults by black youths on completely innocent whites,”hispanics”, and asians who were either targeted or wandered near or through black gang infested areas. The perpetators excuse; The reported “cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin because he was black”
It led to a score or more deaths and serious injuries which were treated as local news ignored and forgotten. And it was met with silence while this was happening. Neither the locqatious POTUS or his political opposition uttered as much as a “Now!,Now! or a “tsk!,tsk!”.
Those killings were referenced by the Charleston Church massacre perpetrator in his crazed manifesto.

Naturally when it was discovered that mention of those score of murders were used in this nut cases’s “manifesto” the reaction was....“Well we can’t let that out. Oh ! His face book has him holding a Confederate battle flag, (Which to many is simply an ensign of protest and rebellion), that must be his excuse “The Confederates made him do this horrible act ! Let’s get them !” Well they’re doing a good job of perverting what that battle flag’s used for at the same time ignoring the regimes complicity in engendering those previous racial incidents.
gee thanks. Over Christmas or next summer they'll just go all the way with it.
People are well within their rights to not like this flag or that flag. But that’s it. The end.
Turn your head away and go your own way. Your right to not like something does not override the right of someone else to like what you don’t.
Is a Che Guevara shirt, Hammer and Sickle flag, or Mao poster still allowed?
I’ve never thought the First Amendment should apply to anyone.
Hopefully one day our wise leaders will ban it.
Back in world war II germany, nazi fascists burned books.
in todays America, PC fascists ban flags.
BREAKING NOW!!! The republicans have folded per WSB. There will be NO vote. The reason given was outrage by the Dems.
Someone flexed blackmail muscle.
The biggest problem in America today is stated in the title of this thread: “Allowing”!
You don’t want the government to pay for Confederate flags, I MIGHT understand that premise, but to BAN a flag simply because “some people” find it “offensive” is the ultimate overreach of the U.S. Government!!
How far have we fallen, that we must await Congressional approval to allow us to decorate the grave of a loved one?!?
I mean really, the title alone should be enough to make every American’s blood boil!
